Following the success of the Modern Warfare 2v2 Alpha, which was the biggest Alpha or Beta in Call of Duty history on PS4, the time has come to check out even more Multiplayer content: The Beta rolls out this week! Get an early look at a collection of several maps and modes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has to offer before it releases on October 25. Be among the first to experience the intense multiplayer action, ranging from the quick, close quarters 2v2 Gunfight mode, to traditional 6v6 multiplayer gameplay, and larger player count firefights. Try new gameplay mechanics, including bullet penetration, gun mounting, door breaching, and night vision multiplayer gameplay maps featuring night vision goggles (NVGs) that allow for an amazing tactical experience. Beta Weekends: What’s the Plan? There are two weekends of Modern Warfare Beta content. Each “weekend” lasts a total of around five days, scheduled to begin each Thursday morning at 10am Pacific and ending on Monday morning Pacific (with exact content conclusion timing still to be decided). Weekend 1 PS4 Exclusive Beta The first Beta Test Weekend is exclusively for PS4 owners, running from Thursday, September 12 to the morning of Monday, September 16. Early Access The first two days of the weekend — Thursday, September 12, and Friday, September 13 — are available for early access to players who have pre-ordered Modern Warfare on PS4. Check your local retailer or PlayStation Store for pre-order information. Open The rest of the Beta period, from Saturday, September 14, to the morning of Monday, September 16, is free to all PS4 owners. If you’ve got a PS4 and an internet connection, you should be good to go, though PlayStation Plus may be a requirement in some territories. Weekend 2 All Players (Crossplay) The second Beta Test Weekend is for all players, starting Thursday, September 19, and running to the morning of Monday, September 23. PS4 owners: If you’re a PS4 owner, regardless of whether or not you pre-ordered the game, you can resume and continue to play the Open Beta free for the entire Weekend 2 period (both the Early Access and Open periods).

All of us at Dinosaur Polo Club and Radial Games are very excited to be bringing Mini Metro to PlayStation 4! Now you too can design subway systems from the comfort of your couch. Now I know what you’re thinking. Designing a metro map? Surely this is someone’s job? But haven’t you ever, while waiting for a bus or a train, though you could organize things better? Here’s your chance. It starts simply — a handful of stations, some passengers wanting to move between them, and you have to draw the lines to set the whole thing in motion. Trains travel the lines and passengers hop on and off automatically to get to where they need to go. So far so good. Then a few more stations pop up. You have to extend your lines so now the trains take that little bit longer to make a return trip. You can edit your lines at any time so you can experiment with different layouts. Maybe one long loop with a few other smaller connecting lines? Or three intersecting lines so people can make easy transfers. And don’t worry, help is on the way! At the end of every week you get an extra train and another upgrade — maybe it’s another line, or a carriage, or some tunnels. Hopefully this is enough to get you through another seven days! The game ends if you have too many passengers waiting at a station for too long, so tweak your network and use those upgrades wisely to keep your city moving. We’ve got 20 real-world cities that you can design, such as London, Paris, Mumbai, and Shanghai, each one with a unique graphical style and gameplay challenges. Plus four gameplay modes to explore, a daily challenge, unlockable vintage maps, oh my! Here are a few tips to get you started: As more passengers make use of your network over time, you might need to reassign trains to new routes to manage the demand. Plan ahead for the upgrades you might get at the end of the week. Maybe you can afford to let that station overcrowd for a while longer? Don’t be afraid to pause time and remove entire lines in your network. This will allow you to use the regained line elsewhere, creating a more efficient network. Each map has unique geography, requiring a different approach in each new city. What works in Berlin doesn’t necessarily work in Osaka! Each map has a huge amount of replay value, with randomly generated train stations every play session. So what are you waiting for? Jump in, pick a city, and start playing with trains.

Hola, PlayStation players! Here at The Game Kitchen we are truly excited about tomorrow’s release of Blasphemous, our most ambitious game to date. We have been working hard during the last few months to have everything ready for our unique tribute to the 16-bit era, and now that we’re done polishing all our pixel-perfect characters and scenarios we thought that this was the perfect moment to tell you a bit more about Blasphemous, what awaits you in the land of Cvstodia and how we ended up mixing centenary-old southern Spanish folklore with inspiration from great games like Castlevania, Dark Souls and even Doom. Blasphemous starts its journey in uncharted lands. We didn’t even know how to start, but we needed a hook, a powerful icon, and that icon ended being the main character: The Penitent One. The Penitent One went through many iterations. Since our main sources of inspiration were all the historical religious elements that surrounded our city, Seville, we knew it had to do something with them. Our first attempt for a main character ended up looking like an undertaker. It looked cool, but it wasn’t enough. We wanted it to be visually impactful, memorable and a clear homage to our local culture. That inspiration came to us when we realized that this character could be based on the penitents who wore “sanbenitos” a few centuries ago, during the Spanish Inquisition times. Heretics and blasphemers had to walk in a procession wearing these garments as part of their penitence, as well as a rope around their neck and a rosary in their hands. In fact, a “modern take” of these processions are still happening in our region nowadays, with hundreds of penitents wearing these cone shaped hats, parading through our city for a whole week. Now that we had a good-looking main character, we needed an interesting nonlinear world for the player to explore. That world ended being Cvstodia. Cvstodia is an exaggerated take on our land and history, borrowing architectural elements and places that indeed exist in our region, but framing them into a dark fantasy world. In order to complete this trio of cultural inspirations, we also needed to give the soundtrack a unique sound. Carlos Viola, our composer, was in charge of creating this fascinating musical tour through Cvstodia. Andalusia is the root of flamenco music, and as part of our musical heritage, you’ll be listening wonderful ambience tracks recorded with real instruments inspired by this music genre with a pretty unique dark twist to set the perfect mood that this experience needed. This unique setting and theme has never been explored in any other videogame before, which is what makes Blasphemous so special for us. Now that the game is finished, we are very excited to see how it will inspire players all over the world. View the full article

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is finally here! After many months of anticipation, exciting reveals and thrilling teasers at the end of each trailer, it’s time to gather together and start hunting some of the fiercest monsters out there. This all-new journey kicks off with the research commission following the path of some mysterious new monster behavior. But hey, that’s just the in-game story, and while that has a clear beginning, middle and end, we’re very curious to hear more about your story, as a hunter, and… “why do you hunt?” When we were looking at Iceborne as a whole, we learned a couple of key things: It’s jam-packed with content (new features, monsters, gear, etc.)! Different aspects of the game resonate with different people. And that’s the line of thinking that got us to our “Why Do You Hunt?” launch ads. So let’s break down some of the types of hunter motivations here: Starting with our first, sophisticated hunter, they seem to have quite the appreciation for weapons, both crafting and mastering them. In Iceborne, we’ve expanded upon nearly every weapon tree in the game, added some new customization options and entirely new combos and moves. Next up is our team player, with a strong sense of leadership. While Monster Hunter doesn’t technically set players into given roles (tank, support, etc.), a well-oiled and diverse hunting party can conquer even the toughest challenges we have to offer. These folks can also be great mentors to new hunters with Iceborne’s new Hunter Helper feature which offers rewards to incentivize helping even more. Then, comes the fashion expert. Everyone wants to look good while taking down majestic beasts, but pulling it off is a separate skill altogether. Layered Armor sets make it a bit easier to match form and function, but matching the perfect combination of armor set, colors and your favorite weapon is still very satisfying, especially when you line up the perfect shot with the game’s new View Mode. And last in our video is the hunter who just loves the light-hearted cute and fun side of Monster Hunter. Between all the Palico customization options, new gadgets and mini-games, there’s a ton of content to “aww” at in Iceborne. And that’s not even all of it; there’s a world of cuteness beyond our Felyne friends, including the classic Poogie and all-new endemic life. Of course, there are also preferences we didn’t get to cover in the video, like the monster fanatics—be it experts on a single monster, usually a favorite, knowing the ins-and-outs of hunting them and all the gear associated with them; or those that admire all life forms. By the way, monster admirers will have a field day with all the new monsters and learning about how some of the returning favorites fit into the New World! Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is available now on PlayStation 4 and definitely has something for every type of hunter out there. So… why do you hunt? It could be one or more of what we’ve mentioned here, or something else entirely. Either way, we’d love to hear it; leave a comment and let us know! View the full article

Madden NFL 20, uh… [insert past-tense football verb here] to the top of the PS4 charts last month at PlayStation Store. Sorry, I’m not a sports guy.

Hi PlayStation.Blog readers! Our latest RPG, GreedFall, launches soon, and we’re humbled by the tremendous response we’ve received already. We hope you’re looking forward to adventuring on the island of Teer Fradee. For those planning to make the voyage, we’ve put together 10 things you need to know about GreedFall. GreedFall is a Completely New World In a time heavy with sequels, it’s always refreshing to see new IPs with original settings appear. The world of GreedFall is inspired by 17th century history, and the sense of wonder and exploration that permeated society due to new discoveries in countless fields. The game has echoes of colonial themes, yet it doesn’t mirror history in this respect — what happens is up to you. The world of GreedFall is full of different people and factions, quests and creatures, and everything has a history and a reason for being there. Whether you delve into these mysteries or not is your choice. Teer Fradee is an Island Full of Promises In GreedFall, you embark from the old continent to the Island of Teer Fradee – the new world – full of wilderness and new environments to explore. Forests, mountains, swamps, and cities will draw you in, but keep a wary eye out for the many strange creatures that prowl there. De Sardet is Your Hero You are De Sardet, a noble on a journey to find a cure for The Malichor, a deadly disease ravaging the continent. To do this, you travel to the Island of Teer Fradee as a diplomat for the Merchant Congregation. A deep character creator exists to make De Sardet your own hero. Pick your gender, origin, look, and clothing, as well as your starting talents and skills. Companions Are Important In GreedFall, there are five companions which you can take on your journey, two of which you can have in your party at once. Each with their own archetypal style, they will help you out in combat and on diplomatic missions. They all have their own opinions and faction they are linked to, so it would be wise to consider their personality and loyalties before you act. Develop your relationship further and perhaps your friendship will blossom to romance! Explore a land trapped in conflict and fragile peace A long history of domination has ruled the Old Continent and now endanger Teer Fradee. Conflicts between factions are not unusual, and these also threaten native clans who used to live in harmony. Some factions have been at war for ages, while peace between others hangs by a thread. Faith, economy, and culture all affect the diplomatic game, and it’s up to you how you tip the scales in any particular direction. There Are Multiple Endings Choice is one of the main pillars of GreedFall. Approach quests in various ways depending on what talents you choose, and consider the possible results of your actions, since they can affect the world around you and people‘s perception of you, and ultimately, which of the multiple endings you experience. So Many Skills Customize your abilities from a large skill tree of over 80 skills, choosing between crushing your enemies with giant weapons, luring them into traps, crippling them with poisoned blades, blasting them with magic, or a mix that suits your playstyle. Your talents allow you to engage with and explore the world around you, be it through lockpicking, diplomacy, or athletics. If you prefer to focus on your equipment, you can also decide to put points into crafting, or your ability to find special items in the wild. GreedFall is all about choice. Magic! The world of GreedFall is steeped in magic. Some people (including you) channel it through the use of special rings, of which there are many kinds, giving access to various spells. Some spells don’t require the rings however, such as Stasis, which briefly locks foes in time. Although you are familiar with magic, the Island of Teer Fradee is ripe with strange power unheard of in your homeland. Magic varies depending on where you are from. On the old continent magic is centered around light and shadow, whereas Teer Fradee’s magic is rooted in nature, and holds a mysterious connection to some of the strange creatures that prowl the island. Difficulty Changes Everything GreedFall encourages you to play your own way. There are four game difficulties that significantly alter the kind of experience you can expect. On one end you have the more story-driven experience, focusing on the characters and diplomacy over combat, and on the other you have a more combat-focused mode for stat-heads and RPG experts. Crafting! Put points into crafting and you will be able to customize and enhance several aspects of each piece of equipment, from blade, to hilt, to pommel, changing both the way the item looks and its stats. Using materials found in the wild and in cities, you can also use science to craft potions, traps, and poisons for an assortment of no doubt devious purposes. We hope this information helps on your expedition into the brave new world of GreedFall. Your journey begins when the game sets sail on PS4 September 10. View the full article

Discover The Creators is a PlayStation Store curation program in which we’ve asked some of the biggest names in the biz to pick their favorite PS4 games in order to help your find your next game to play. Choosing a game to play is a major decision, at least for me. I’m a completionist so I pick my games very carefully, knowing I’ll spend many hours exploring a world, getting to know its rules, characters and lore. It’s exciting but daunting at the same time. So, I do a lot of research. I read reviews. I talk to my teammates and I try to pay attention to what’s breaking through the noise out there. When I finally do make the choice to jump in, there’s no feeling quite like being fully absorbed in a completely new reality, experiencing a creative team’s unique vision. Browse Ted’s Full List at PlayStation Store The Last of Us Remastered Even though this game first released on PS3, this remastered version brings something extra to the PS4 that every PlayStation fan should play. Naughty Dog has created a gritty, yet personal masterpiece that is more immersive than anything I have experienced on any platform. While the gameplay is incredibly absorbing, the emotional journey of both of the protagonists is what has had a permanent effect on me. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt This game marks a major achievement for open world games. Its scope is insane, yet its world, story and characters remain consistently connected throughout. Besides the seemingly infinite amount of gameplay, what made the biggest impact on me was the depth, variety and richness of its secondary quests. Inside Inside is a masterpiece of game design. Limbo was already a favorite of mine but with INSIDE, the team at Playdead has perfected the craft of telling an interactive, tension-filled story without words. The puzzles are challenging without being impossible and the mechanics are beautifully layered on as the game progresses. Most of all, I think the game’s subversive social commentary should leave players thinking deeply about how repression exists in many forms and must be fought in our own world. Horizon Zero Dawn Hunting robotic dinosaurs is just… so… satisfying. Add to that a sprawling, gorgeous world, strong heroine and super compelling game loop, this is a game I couldn’t put down. As someone who loves stealth gameplay, I found that HZD set a new standard for making stealth feel fresh. Given the game’s immense scope and depth there are many ways you can play. For me I dove headfirst into the trapping/sniping/stealth-kill paradigm and was hooked for a long, long time. Dead Cells I’ve always been a Metroidvania fan and while roguelikes can be an acquired taste for some, Dead Cells somehow manages to bring together the best of both genres to present an experience that simply doesn’t get old no matter how many times you play it (and I’m still playing it after many months). The core mechanics are incredibly polished and the retro visuals help set it apart from every other game on this list. God of War What else can you say about a game that has deservedly won every major industry award? From the opening heart-stopping battle through every major twist and turn along the way, the game continued to surprise me with its perfect blend of well-honed action, clever puzzles, humor and raw emotion. It’s clear that the Sony Santa Monica team poured their heart and soul into this unbelievably polished gem of an experience. Head over to PlayStation Store now to browse Ted’s list as well as picks curated by Cory Barlog, YOKO TARO, Ed Boon, and more. View the full article

I’m excited to announce that Days Gone will be releasing its New Game Plus mode. This has been the most requested fan feature since we launched back in April, and it will be available on September 13 through a downloadable update. Players can now re-experience the epic journey through Days Gone, this time with the advantage of previously earned weapons, bike upgrades, NERO boosters, skills, recipes, encampment trust and credits, collectibles, and trophy progress unlocked from the beginning. New Game Plus can be started from any save game where the “I’m Never Giving Up” storyline has been completed. You can play NG+ on any difficulty level; Easy, Normal, Hard, Survival, or try it in one of our two new difficulty modes: Hard II and Survival II, regardless of the previous difficulty mode. These new difficulty modes are not specific to NG+ and can be experienced by brand-new players as well. Perks from patches earned in challenges continue to carry over to the main game, but now they can be used in NG+ and all difficulty modes. So if you haven’t started any of the Challenge modes yet, I highly recommend going for gold in each challenge in order to maximize your gameplay perks before NG+ releases. In addition, we have a few new trophies available to earn in NG+, Hard II and Survival II modes. Including one related to a mysterious new weapon from an agent that only operates in the shadows. This is the perfect opportunity to return to the Pacific Northwest and replay your favorite horde encounters, take on ambush camps, and clear infestation zones with your expanded arsenal. But remember, this is Days Gone where the world comes for you — constantly. New Game Plus isn’t the only news we have about Days Gone today; Mondo has created a vinyl of the Days Gone soundtrack. Featuring 25 unique tracks from the game — including 20 by composer Nathan Whitehead — the soundtrack is pressed on 180 gram colored vinyl discs. The soundtrack will be available for pre-order beginning September 11 on their website. View the full article

Need for Speed Heat roared into Gamescom last month as EA paired a reveal trailer online with a hands-on demo for show attendees. That preview build let players sample Ghost Games’ fresh spin on the arcade racing franchise: one street racer fantasy, played out across two distinct but intertwining game types. The difference, as they say, is night and day. Sanctioned events are organized and run during the hours of sunlight, letting you perfect those racing lines and chase leaderboard glory on closed courses. Illegal activities are greenlit after sunset, battling for pole position on the open roads of a street-lit Palm City. But with added thrills comes increased danger: you need to weave through nighttime traffic and escape a growing pack of cop cars. EA has already talked about the game’s story and car customization. We also know that Palm City is an open world inspired by iconic landmarks along the US eastern seaboard: the sweeping Georgia mountains, the sun-kissed streets of Miami. But we wanted to take a longer look under the hood to get to grips with its gameplay mechanics, find out what form multiplayer is taking and more. After a quick spin on the Gamescom demo, we sat down with Ghost Games to talk how the studio is evolving street racing. Here’s what we found out. A great gameplay loop is tied to the day and night cycle The key to being a successful street racer in Palm City is by taking advantage of its gameplay loop. Doing so requires understanding of what Heat, Bank, and Rep are, and how they’re interconnected. Let’s take those in reverse order. Rep is your player level. You can only increase Rep through night time events. Doing so unlocks more car parts, which will upgrade your ride. But you have to buy the parts first; that’s where Bank, the in-game currency, comes in. And you can only earn Bank completing daytime events. And Heat? That’s a score multiplier tied to Rep, active at night only. It increases the more illegal stunts you perform, but there’s a catch. The higher the Heat, the more aggressive the cops get. Make it to a safehouse to cash in the multiplier, but get caught and you’re back to zero. It turns Night into a score attack-style game mode, as you decide if the reward is worth the risk. You can switch from day to night at any time, but you can’t leave the latter until you’ve made it back to one of the safehouses dotted around the map. Given how the systems bridge the gap between night and day, you’ve got good reason to split your time between them. Cops are an ever-present threat The police will be a thorn in your side in free-roam and during some events as well. Cops patrol Palm City regardless of the hour, but they’re more aggressive come nightfall. Get spotted and you’ll need some serious driving skills to escape. And as mentioned above, the more Heat you have, the more cops will come. The AI scales according to the threat you present: expect nastier tactics, such as boxing you in between four cars or forcing you into a wall. One brilliant addition is that finishing first in an illegal street race is now only half the battle. Any cops on your tail come the finish line will continue their pursuit post-event, forcing you into a nerve racking race to the nearest safehouse to cash in your winnings. Also, cops will latch on to whoever has the most Heat: drive close to another player during multiplayer to shift the attention of the flashing sirens onto them. Car customizations have tactical benefits Tap the right button while roaring across Palm City for a quick boost from your on-board nitrous tanks. It’s a staple of most arcade racers today but the studio has given Noz deployment added depth in Heat. You deplete Noz a tank at a time, something to factor in when you decide your Noz loadout. Do you gamble on the power of a single massive tank, or favor the flexibility of a trio of smaller tanks? In addition, equippable ‘special’ items are deployed with the Circle button. Ghost Games showed off two: one instantly refills your nitrous; another counters a cop tool that can killswitch your car — though it needs to be timed perfectly. Multiplayer makes the city feel alive You’re free to keep your street racer life private, but if you want to get involved in multiplayer, the game supports 16-player servers. You’re free to invite racers you meet free-roaming the map to events, keep them NPC-only, or form a party with friends and tackle activities together. Ghost Games suggests the unexpected events that come from a multiplayer open world is reason enough to keep your Palm City open to all, especially at night. Because unlike day, events aren’t separated into a private server. Picture the scene: you’re competing in a night race and another player, unrelated to your current event, blasts past with a pack of cops. And in doing so — BLAM! — they cause a pileup that takes out one of your competitors. It’s just another way that Ghost Games is adding spice to its open-world racer. Palm City looks to be a dangerous place to make your mark as a street racer, but that’s also what makes it so enticing. Need for Speed Heat launches for PS4 on November 8. Pre-order the game now.

It’s not a dream — Catherine: Full Body launched in the West yesterday! What’s Catherine: Full Body? First, for anyone who has yet to begin their ascent through the twisted nightmare tower of Catherine: Full Body, a bit of background. Take a load off, grab a snack, and get ready to enjoy the tale of Vincent, our tragic main character. Catherine: Full Body is at once both an expansion and a remake of Catherine, which released in 2011. The recipe for Catherine: Full Body is equal parts puzzle-platformer and choose-your-own-adventure game. With over 500 platforming stages total across multiple difficulty levels and two distinct gameplay modes, as well as 18 unique endings, Catherine: Full Body is sure to satisfy. For folks who want to just sit back and enjoy the story, there are even options to skip puzzle stages entirely on lower difficulties. How Catherine: Full Body is Brought to Life in the West From Catherine to Catherine: Full Body, our localization team had to work with about 165,000 Japanese characters in text and 6,000 new recorded voice lines, adding up to about an additional 60% of content on top of the original Catherine. Here’s a few behind-the-scenes details about the work that went into turning that into a game that would play well for an English-speaking audience. The original Catherine featured a star-studded English voice cast, including Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, Michelle Ruff, Yuri Lowenthal, and many more. After eight years away from the recording studio for this game, the simplest thing to do would be to recast these characters with new actors, right? Possibly! However, in order to preserve the integrity of Catherine: Full Body’s English voiceover, our production team worked hard to bring back every English voice actor for the main cast, and a vast majority of the side cast, to record their character’s new lines. There were some concerns at certain points during recording, like potentially needing to record a scene from the original game where Vincent (Troy Baker) had to scream for about 20 seconds straight, and that’s for a single take. Multiple takes of 20-second screams in a single recording session would be… a bit of a nightmare. Eventually, our production team worked out a solution to use the original recording instead of asking Troy to scream for a few minutes, so everyone still had a voice at the end of the day. It took some work, especially for folks who had to voice younger / higher-pitched characters after eight years away, but everyone ended up doing a fantastic job, and we feel like the effort really comes across in the final product. In terms of localization outside of voice recording, a great deal of the Japanese script relating to content from the original Catherine had been rewritten, so our team went back and painstakingly referenced the Japanese script alongside the original English translation to ensure that lines were still accurate for pre-existing content while translating and editing entirely new corpuses of text for the new content in Full Body. There were a few particularly difficult sections of text that our team had to work through, including famous quotes on loading screens that had to be reverse-engineered from Japanese back to their original language, and a whole suite of extremely technical alcohol-related trivia for when Vincent orders drinks at the bar. This effort was also duplicated across English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish subtitles! This is just a little look at some of the work that goes into bringing a game from Japan to the West. It takes time and a lot of effort and expertise, but our team always strives to add just that little extra something to make it that much more relatable for our audience while respecting and accurately portraying the original language and intent. Experience the localized release of Catherine: Full Body for yourself, available now exclusively on PS4! View the full article

Trials of Mana, out on PS4 in 2020, is a remake of an RPG classic you’ve possibly never heard of. That is understandable, as the story behind it is over 20 years old. Let’s get you up to speed with a quick refresher. A quick story from 24 years ago… The short version is a game named Seiken Densetsu 3 came out in Japan way back in 1995. It retained certain elements of its predecessor, known as Secret of Mana in the West — high fantasy setting, lush visuals, an emphasis on real-time combat — while expanding on others. You still played with a party of three characters, but now you had a cast of six to choose from, with the storyline altering depending on who you selected as your core trio. Yet despite Secret of Mana — receiving global critical acclaim on launch, its follow-up never released outside of Japan. Fast-forward to June this year and Square Enix made a surprise announcement: it was hard at work on a Seiken Densetsu 3 remake. And with a new version comes a new name: Trials of Mana. Same characters, same world, but rebuilding everything else to make it look, sound and play like it had been created for today’s audience. How a new game can feel so familiar… And the idea works. I was overcome with a strange sense of deja-vu when playing the demo recently, like I was revisiting a classic game I’d loved but inexplicably forgotten. Nostalgia gripped me the moment the game’s gorgeous soundtrack kicked in and those vibrant visuals came into focus. Nostalgia for a game I have never played. Square Enix has achieved something special here. For gamers of a certain era, the experience might be disconcerting. Disconcerting, yet wonderful. …and the challenges faced by the studio to achieve just that That sensation is something Square Enix is well aware of. “A large part of putting out this remake was to capture the nostalgia for people who’d played it when they were younger,” explains producer Masaru Oymada when I talk to him after my half-hour play session. And even if you haven’t played the original, you should recognise the era this remake evokes. The team knew it wanted to keep the general outline the same, but much needed to be rebuilt to make sure the game could “fit with the times.” The question then was this: what would this game be if it was made today? Not that answering that was simple. From the start, there were big design concerns, ones without easy fixes. Not only did the studio have to reinterpret the game’s look as it jettisoned the original’s pixel art approach, it had to reinvent the battle system. Both proved challenging. “With pixel art there’s a lot of extrapolation and imagination the user puts in to what they think the character looks like,” Oymada explains. ‘Filling those blanks’ for the Unreal Engine-powered adaptation, yet keeping the design consistent with the original was an uphill struggle. Similarly, retaining characters’ personalities while removing the more “comical” aspects of their body language proved tough. “It was definitely something we struggled with, to figure out how to keep the characters’ personality and properly express it through their movements.” You can switch between your three party members at any time. You can customize what actions your two other party members will perform during battle in a sub menu Nor could the battle system remain the same. While an early prototype that mimicked the original had a “good vibe” going to begin with, the team soon “got the feeling that the battle system, with the way it looked, it didn’t really fit.” The decision was made to start afresh. The final system, which adds in modern touches such as evades, jumps and combos, was refined through multiple playtests. In comparison, the switch from the traditional top-down view to a third-person perspective was relatively easy. “It really was just to make sure the player felt as immersed in the story as possible.” When change is tradition Yet change is not unusual for Seiken Densetsu. In fact, it’s tradition. According to Oymada, franchise creator Koichi Ishii was “always very keen to try new things” come every game in the series. A new take on a familiar legend. With that philosophy in mind, it’s only fitting that Mana’s return is under a new guise. And from what I’ve played so far, it’s a story whose newer embellishments make it worth revisiting. Even if it’s for the first time. View the full article

Ahoy there, Marvel’s Spider-Man fans. One thing that’s been clear to all of us at Insomniac Games over the last year is how much you love having a lot of suits to choose from. Whether it’s experiencing the story in a new set of threads or checking out each suit from all the angles in Photo Mode, your response each time we’ve added new suits to the game has been nothing short of phenomenal! We have made a special video showing off (almost all!) of the suits in the game: As part of the one-year anniversary of the game, we wanted to give you some more details about each of the suits and how they were made. The character art team at Insomniac Games took the time to give their thoughts on each of the amazing suits in Marvel’s Spider-Man! Advanced Suit First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) Leroy Chen, Senior Character Artist: The Advanced Suit was designed following our “form follows function” philosophy, with each material intended to represent different levels of flexibility and protection. The addition of the white carbon fiber makes this a striking and unique Spider-Man design. Classic Suit / Classic Suit Damaged First Appearance: Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962) Gavin Goulden Lead Character Artist: This is the suit most casual and hardcore Spidey fans will remember. Paying homage to Steve Ditko, and the suit’s first appearance in Amazing Fantasy 15, we wanted to stay true to the original design while updating elements to fit in our world. A more lightweight material was used with less padding while adding construction elements like seam work and fabric weaving that help ground the suit into our realistic setting. Scarlet Spider Suit First Appearance: Web of Spider-Man #118 (1994) Gavin Goulden: As a child of the 90s, this suit is the one I remember from my childhood while reading Spider-Man (other than the Classic Suit, of course.) The team did a great job at updating the materials of this suit and bringing the design into the future. We referenced athletic gear for inspiration on how to break up the main suit with paneling, split toe parkour shoes to make the feet unique and functional, and ballistic fabric to be used for the additional gear at the wrists and ankles. The contrast in this suit is great and the material definition is even greater – I think life-long fans like myself now have a definitive, updated Scarlet Spider. Spider-Armor MK1 Suit First Appearance: Web of Spider-Man #100 (1993) Marco Villalpando, Character Artist: I had a ton of fun working on the ol’ trusty Spider-Armor. It was especially challenging to design this heavily armored suit so that it had room to allow Spidey to pull off his high-flying acrobatics while also retaining the recognizable aesthetic that fans have come to know and love. Spider-Armor MK2 Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #656 (1999) Gavin Goulden: Otherwise known as the Bulletproof Suit, we wanted to follow this theme with material choices within its design. Rather than the more bulky MK1, we went sleeker and used flexible tactile fabrics, metallic mesh inserts that function like a type of chainmail and Kevlar. We also wanted to reimagine the whole-body spider emblems by creating a segmented version that would allow it to bend with the suit underneath. Spider-Armor MK3 Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #682 (1999) Dustin Brown, Character Artist: The MK3, otherwise known as the “Ends of Earth” Suit. The paneling on this suit in the comics, while stylistically awesome, is often rendered inconsistently and as simplified abstractions, so there was a lot of room for us to design it more specifically and nail things down so they look good from all angles. For material definitions, we looked at a lot of ballistic composites such as hard neoprene tactical body armor and the hard molded plastics of motocross armor. The MK3 suit features the Tritanium Alloy Plates Suit Power, which reflects bullets back at assailants. Spider Armor MKIV Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 4 #1 (2015) Gavin Goulden: The MKIV is a more recent suit from the comics that fully utilizes the future technology of Parker Industries. We used a more reflective material and rounded out armor panels for the webbing to help give this a more sleek design over the other armor types. Wrestler Suit First Appearance: Ultimate Spider-Man #3 (2000) Marco Villalpando: This was the result of combining visual elements of Peter’s first outfits from across the entire run of comics and the addition of a little Lucha Libre influence from my upbringing. It also presented a great opportunity to include the classic web-shooters from the pages of Amazing Fantasy 15. Spider-Punk Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 3 #10 (2014) Gavin Goulden: Made popular in the Spider-Verse story line, we wanted to show what the Punk design could look like in our game. Referencing common elements of the punk movement – and even current fashion trends of that genre – we used worn denim, chrome spikes, and more DIY elements in the fabric itself. Spirit Spider Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man Annual #38 (2011) Gavin Goulden: The Spirit Spider Suit is another deep cut from the comics made for the hardcore Spider-Man fan. It combines the look of Spidey and Ghost Rider to make a very unique looking suit – exposing the skull and surrounding it with blue flames while giving an organic treatment to how the suit is rendered, with a unique formation to the spider logos as well as adding scarring and folds to the suit which give it a supernatural feeling. Electrically Insulated Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #425 (1997) Jayson Fitch, Character Artist: For the Electrically Insulated Suit, I asked myself what kind of suit a modern Peter Parker would develop to insulate himself against Electro’s attacks, while simultaneously nodding to the suit in The Amazing Spider-Man #425. I combined the large eyes and red, quilted rubber from the late 90’s design with elements of Electro’s new armor across the abdomen, some carbon fiber surfacing to protect his shins and upper arms, and 90’s anime-inspired nodes and piping. Dark Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man/Deadpool #8 (2016) Gavin Goulden: A rare suit seen in the Spider-Man/Deadpool series, I love how the red spider pops from the suit itself and the materials read like a modern-day tactical outfit. When the suits are typically illustrated as a solid color, we like to embellish upon that to give more information to the players – pulling in real world reference is a way of answering the question “How would Pete have access to this?” and helps inform our material treatment in a more realistic way. Stark Suit First Appearance: Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War (2016) Gavin Goulden: The Insomniac Character Team absolutely killed it on recreating this suit from the MCU for our game. Made completely from the ground up using reference from Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Homecoming, we matched the same level of fidelity through using various tiling detail textures and using our advanced shaders to get a great balance of material contrast that really makes it pop. Homemade Suit First Appearance: Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War (2016) Dustin Brown: While the more slick Spider-Man suits are always cool, there’s something about the suits that look cobbled together by a kid that make us happy. They did such a great job designing and rendering this suit in Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Homecoming, all we had to do was try to make to it look as good in our game. Iron Spider Suit First Appearance: Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Gavin Goulden: As seen in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, this suit brings in more complex Stark armor with nanotechnology plates that form web-like patterns over Peter Parker. We were able to use what you see in the films as an inspiration and matched the material treatment you see on the big screen. We also chose to give this suit the Iron Spider arms fans love as a suit ability, which makes this suit very unique and helps break the silhouette in a memorable way. Fear Itself Suit First Appearance: Fear Itself #7 (2010) Gavin Goulden: This is the Asgardian Suit given to Peter in a more low profile storyline – you can see the reference to our Asgardian friends by the usage of our scaled armor, lightning-like blue energy used throughout the suit, and the claw bracers made out of technology from another world. It was really cool to pull in these different references and give a suit option that is a bit more fantastical. Iron Spider Armor First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #529 (2006) Gavin Goulden: Easily a fan favorite, this is a suit from the comics that we gave a new pass on for adding extra details while staying true to the source material. Not only did we want to expand on the basic color blocking from the books to add more texture and material definition, but we also wanted to incorporate elements of an Iron Man design (based on the suit’s origins) to help tell that story. Blue energy ports, gold and red metals, and plated armor help bring this awesome suit into our world in a realistic way. Last Stand Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #500 (2003) Marco Villalpando: The source material showcased this older, darker, and grizzled Peter, so figuring out how to interpret that into this well-worn set of street clothes was a lot of fun. This was also my first character that I got to see running around in the game, so seeing that brought a happy tear to my eye Undies First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) Gavin Goulden: This is a reference to the various times Pete has been caught with his pants down and is also our take on the debate of what he wears under the suit. This suit is great as it makes you question what was really going on during the Scorpion sequence, gives more weight to that mission wrapping up, and references our opening scene with Pete wearing the same Underoos. ESU Suit First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) Gavin Goulden: Throughout the costume we use our advanced clothing shaders, and clothing simulations to give a realistic wardrobe while paired with a classic Spider-Man mask. This suit is great because it helps reinforce the collision of Pete and Spidey’s worlds, as if Pete was in a hurry to do hero work and hastily put on the mask to cover his identity. Noir Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man: Noir #1 (2008) Jayson Fitch: I wanted to emphasize the roots of the Noir suit as Uncle Ben’s flight suit from the First World War by drawing reference from real WW1 air force gear and adding some Spidey influence. This includes taller lace-up boots, riding pants with the rank stitched into the side of the leg, and a flight helmet with goggles stitched in. Secret War Suit First Appearance: Secret Wars #8 (2004) Gavin Goulden: This suit is great as it is another deep cut that only hardcore fans will recognize, only having one appearance in the comics. I like the design as it stands out from the others and gives us the chance to pull in color combinations that are pretty unique – not many suits use this shade of blue, and inverted the suit and web colors like Secret War does – and the suit spandex material in contrast to the harder plastic cuts really makes this stand out in our lineup. Stealth (“Big Time”) Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #650 (1999) Gavin Goulden: We referenced a lot of real world materials to have this neon suit fit into our world – materials like ballistic nylon, tactical gear, and hard plastics helped make this suit believable. We also used various tiled details to give material contrast, like nylon weaving versus a more octagonal padded rubber, to help give a typically all black suit more depth and believability when swinging around our realistic world. 2099 Black Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #365 (1992) Leroy Chen: The rationale here is to give the classic 2099 design a futuristic touch without going too overly sci-fi, therefore subtle touches like the dark carbon fiber were added to try to accomplish that goal. Through emphasizing the musculature of the body, the design further sets out to distinguish its look from a regular fabric-based suit. 2099 White Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man 2099 Vol. 3 #1 (2015) Leroy Chen: Even though both were set in the same timeline, the 2099 White Suit design was updated with contrasting the 2099 Black Suit in mind. By introducing different angularities, clean lines, and sharp cuts, the suit has an overall high sci-fi feel to it. Vintage Comic Book Suit First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) J Tuason, Shader Technical Artist: Working on a shader that emulated vintage comics was definitely a huge challenge. I’ve always loved games that try to emulate 2D art styles and it was exciting having the opportunity to tackle a comic shader for such an iconic character. I’m really proud of our work on the suit and it was flattering seeing how many people thought that the suit was photoshopped into screenshots. Negative Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man #90 (1998) Gavin Goulden: J Tuason did a great job here at creating the inverse of our Advanced Suit. Essentially, we wanted to do more than simply desaturating the suit and J had the idea to bring in more movement within the shader, implying that Negative Energy was coursing through the suit itself, giving it another level of detail. Velocity Suit First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) Leroy Chen: This suit was originally designed by legendary Marvel artist and illustrator Adi Granov, who’s known for his Iron Man illustrations. Some angular cuts were added to define the form of the suit and help to introduce a bit of an Iron Man flare to the look. But, the overall goal during the construction of the suit was to stay as true as possible to the original concept. Resilient Suit First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) Leroy Chen: Designed by famed Marvel artist Gabriele Dell’Otto, this is also a suit that featured a white spider. One interesting aspect here is that the eyes on the suit do not change shapes. This is to pay homage to Dell’Otto’s signature intense Spider-Man expression. Spider-UK Suit First Appearance: Edge of Spider-Verse #2 (2014) Dustin Brown: Poor Billy Braddock, you died unceremoniously in Spider-Geddon. Untimely demise aside, we wanted to do our web slinger from across the pond justice. He is perhaps known best for having a big Union Jack emblazoned across his chest instead of a traditional spider emblem and for wearing a glowing Spider-Talisman on his wrist. Some of this suit’s design elements were converted to hard armor, including the Union Jack’s white trim and the red spider on his back. The shoes are completely original to Insomniac’s version of Spider-UK; his legs are solid blue and adding a shock of red on the feet helped balance it out. Scarlet Spider II Suit First Appearance: Scarlet Spider #1 (2012) Marco Villalpando: Henrique absolutely killed it with his modern interpretation of the classic Scarlet Spider suit, so I wanted to make sure this suit retained some of the same visual landmarks while distinguishing it with a more aggressive design. Into the Spider-Verse Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Colton Orr, Associate Character Artist: When it came to the Into the Spider-Verse suit, it was important to match the unique art direction of the blockbuster film. One of the challenges of working on this suit was making sure the stylized materials would look at home in our realistic game environment. J Tuason did a fantastic job of recreating the film shader in our game engine. J Tuason: Even from the first trailer, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse blew me away as an incredible visual feat. It has such a unique voice and pays homage to comics while still understanding its strengths as an animated feature. Getting to work on the shader for the game was incredibly exciting but also very challenging; I think we came pretty close to making it look like the movie even while rendering in real-time. Spider-Clan Suit First Appearance: Marvel Mangaverse: Spider-Man #1 (2002) J Tuason: As someone who grew up inspired by the manga-comic fusion styles of the mid-2000’s, I feel like working on this shader was a solid throwback. Dustin Brown: While every suit is unique, the Mangaverse Spider-Clan suit breaks the mold on some technical fronts. It was a fun visual design challenge to reference Spider-Clan comic artist Scottie Young’s proportions and shapes while making them work on the much more naturalistic animation rig for our hero. Maintaining that fun, dynamic, highly stylized look was paramount for this suit. Webbed Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man (2002 film) Marco Villalpando: I have so many memories of watching the movies and playing the PlayStation 2 game when I was a kid, so getting to make this was a huge deal for me. Getting the webbing layout for this suit was probably the biggest challenge, especially considering that it’s all geometry rather than texture. Cyborg Spider-Man Suit First Appearance: Spider-Man: Revenge of the Sinister Six (1992) Colton Orr: The Cyborg Suit was inspired by a heavily damaged Spider-Man from Revenge of the Sinister Six: Part Four. I had a blast creating the hard surface elements of the suit and adding a modern twist to the 1990s aesthetic. Aaron Aikman Armor First Appearance: Edge of Spider-Verse #3 (2014) Leroy Chen: The original Aikman suit has a very unique design. The main approach for the updating pass was to try to keep the look while referencing real life motorcycle design elements and working them into grounding the tech and the feel of the suit. Bombastic Bag-Man Suit First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #258 (1984) Gavin Goulden: We wanted to update this classic design to better fit into our world. Originally, the suit is a loaner from the Fantastic Four who, at the time, have looser fitting clothing and a more old school approach to how the clothing would fit on the heroes underneath. But, what would this look like in our world? Upgraded materials follow the function of the suit – protective materials on the outside and more flexible materials at points of articulation. Of course, though, you need to keep the paper bag – it hides Pete’s identity since the Fantastic Four don’t wear masks – our twist is to add the eye holes but also bring in the outline of drawn eyes to still have it feel like Spider-Man. Future Foundation Suit First Appearance: FF #1 (2011) Dustin Brown: The comic version of this suit has a lot of fans, including many Insomniacs. We focused on keeping the design clean and true to the comics, while introducing subtle evidence of construction, such as panel seams, that help ground it in our world. These eye lenses were inspired by certain panels in the comics, where they appear to have a swirling sheen to them Upgraded Suit First Appearance: Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Gavin Goulden: Much like the Stark Suit, this was a great collaboration between Insomniac, Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Marvel to bring this suit into our game. Using our own custom detail patterns, we were able to perfectly capture the look from the suit in the movie without a loss of information. Stealth Suit First Appearance: Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Jayson Fitch: It was an honor to bring the Stealth Suit to Marvel’s Spider-Man—I really wanted the armor to feel like it would protect Peter from any number of attacks while still being flexible with padded cloth and armor attached with straps. The material response was the most important aspect to me, creating contrast between nylon and hex weave cloth while staying true to the MCU source. Anti-Ock Suit First Appearance: Marvel’s Spider-Man, PlayStation 4 (2018) Dustin Brown: Spoiler Alert! This is the final story-related suit in the game, and we knew it needed to work hand-in-hand with the narrative. Spider-Man’s been taking damage throughout the game. When he gets his butt kicked badly by Doc Ock and learns that his mentor is the ring leader of the Sinister Six, he’s both physically and emotionally battered. The Anti-Ock suit is what happens when MJ reminds him to stop thinking like Spider-Man and start thinking like Peter Parker. He’s the one person who helped Octavius build his arms, so he’s in the unique position to use Doc Ock’s technology against him by building a Spider-Man suit capable of being the perfect foil to his old mentor. The suit is equipped with external armor plating made of the same stuff Otto used to protect his arms. It also has an internal flexible metal cage mesh and is lined with Kevlar. The Anti-Ock suit features the Resupply Suit Power, which continuously refills your current gadget’s shots, which comes in mighty handy when you’re facing off against the likes of Otto Octavius!

We are excited to announce that Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair will be coming to PS4 October 8! Since the initial reveal of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Tonics have been a tough secret to keep. If you played Yooka-Laylee you will be familiar with Tonics. They granted bonuses like additional health, more energy, or accented Yooka’s lizard butt with some very tight blue shorts. In Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, we’ve added loads of extra ingredients to Tonics for some good old reinvention. This time around they can be combined, too! We asked one of our programmers to calculate how many different tonic combinations were possible and he reckons that number sits at over a million. We’ll take your word for it, Joe. Tonics can be used to alter: Gameplay Rules Players can use tonics to adjust gameplay rules, such as adding more checkpoints or removing them altogether. Visuals Tonics offer a variety of ways to change the appearance of a level. If you’re a fan of blocky green visuals that remind you of simpler times, the “Game Bee” Tonics are right up your street. Player Skin If you’ve just about had enough of Yooka’s tail, you can remove it with a Tonic. Player abilities Various Tonics enhance your abilities! Run, swim and climb faster, and double up on those gracious twirls. We’ve had a lot of fun in the office playing around with Tonic combinations. Removing Yooka’s tail and giving him more human-like proportions seems to be popular with our resident weirdos… We’re looking forward to seeing the Tonic combinations that the community comes up with when Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair launches on PS4 October 8!

Those of us at Hopoo Games and Gearbox Publishing are stoked out of our minds to surprise launch Risk of Rain 2 today on PS4. If you’re hearing about Risk of Rain 2 for the first time, let’s play a little catch up! Way back in the halcyon days of 2013, Risk of Rain dropped, quickly becoming one of the early titles leading a roguelike resurgence. Now, Risk of Rain 2 marks the return of 2013’s classic roguelike, but adds a whole new dimension. While the first game was a 2D action game, Risk of Rain 2 is a fully 3D title. That means some things are pretty different, but one of our goals was actually to keep the core moment-to-moment gameplay feeling similar and authentic to the original title. Here’s what it’s like! As one of a cast of sci-fi survivors, drop onto a beautiful but foreboding planet and blast your way to an escape. Enemies, loot, and mysteries abound in this multiplayer roguelike that’s absolutely stuffed to the seams with places to see, items to unlock, and baddies to blow up. Grab some friends in four player online co-op, stack up some items, and try to survive the wildlife. When you land in Risk of Rain 2, the enemies will likely kick your butt, but in a fair way. Pay close attention and you’ll see patterns everywhere. You learn. You grow. You get better. Eventually taking down enormous bosses to push ever deeper into the planet’s mysteries. In each randomized run, it’s essential to explore wide open stages, hunting enemies that turn into sweet, sweet EXP and gold. Once you’ve caused a mini-extinction event, use that gold to pop open some chests and gear up. More than 70 items await your discovery, each one appearing on your survivor as you pick it up. Each item stacks and combines with the rest, scaling you from a regular shooter to an absolute god of destruction. For example, who doesn’t want a teddy bear who will literally take a shot for them? How about a ukulele that shoots lightning? A goat hoof? Yeah, it gets a little weird. Seven different survivors are included on day one, each with a different suite of abilities and playstyles. The Commando’s a great place to start, which is why he’s the only character you have at the beginning of the game. He shoots, he rolls, he rocks. As you play you’ll unlock more survivors like the Huntress, a futuristic archer, the turret-happy Engineer, and REX, a puppy-like symbiote of a robot and plant.

Hello! Joe from System Era Softworks here to share some news about something that many of you have been asking for! Our first game, Astroneer, is coming to PS4 on November 15, and is available to pre-order right now! We couldn’t be more excited to join the amazing PS4 roster, and we’ve just released a trailer to celebrate! Creating Space Personalities Now that the announcement is official, we wanted to take a look back at the creative process behind one of the most recognizable things in Astroneer: our space suits! The creation of Astroneer suits is a multi-step process, combining not only the art and visual presentation, but also animation, to give them all distinct personalities like this: For suit creation, we worked very closely with an amazing Concept Artist and 3D artist, Heather Penn. After the first four suits in the game were decided on, she was tasked with creating a new round of suits for each planet type in the game. She ran with that idea, and started to envision space suits for all the different environments that Astroneers might encounter on their travels. Heather put together this image of the overall workflow, starting from sketch to final in-game art: Heather starts with sketches of variations to work out ideas quickly. After refining the sketches to the final version, she then moves to modeling a rough silhouette of the suit’s major features to make sure it works in 3D. Once that is done, she “paints over” the 3D shape, then models the final asset off of that. The Process Some of the earliest sketches we saw of the new suits were mood boards with rough silhouette drawings. These mood boards always included really interesting images to show the inspiration and themes for the suits. One of our favorites incorporated the famous “water bear” photos from a few years back. As you can see in the above photo, inspiration for Tundra suit came from microorganisms, diving suits, and military style safety armor, among other things. Here is another one, showing that the Arid suit’s design is heavily inspired by real life space suits and astronaut clothing: After a round of feedback and approval for the rough designs, the real fun began. Heather went to work modeling the suits in 3D from the concepts. She told us a little bit about that process: “Because I am a concept artist and 3D artist, a lot of the magic happens when I actually convert it. I don’t have to get the (2D) designs perfect…Which is sort of freeing because in the translation from 2D to 3D, something always goes wrong.” The best example of these happy accidents came during the modeling of the Exotic suit. The original sketches of it were super adorable and we loved them, but once they got to 3D, we realized something really important was missing: A head! Astroneers need a head so they can move it around and shine their headlamp where they are looking when underground… and Exotic suit’s body was also its head. Heather then created an extremely scientific drawing to illustrate to the team how she would solve that problem: After we all nearly passed out from immense adorable-ness of this masterpiece, she separated out the “dome” of the suit to be a head that could spin around, and that actually added some really cool options for when animation came into play! Animating a lot with a little After the 3D models are finalized, Gene, our animator, takes over and creates an animation skeleton that fits with the suit’s body shape, and then sets out to create unique versions of all of the animations that suits need, like walks, runs, waves, dances, and so on. Creating distinct and emotive Astroneer suits is actually a big challenge because you never see their faces, and none of them talk (besides the occasional muffled exclamation). But, right from the beginning of the process, Heather often told the team about the head canons she developed alongside the creation of the suits. In a lot of cases, Gene, our animator, took that guidance and then gave each of the suits distinct body language to reinforce that unspoken personality. For example, Heather told us that she pictured Exotic suit to be a clumsy, pigeon-toed scientist, and if you look at the final animations, that inspiration is unmistakably there: Gene is also instrumental when making the animations we use in our trailers like the PS4 announce trailer we posted recently. The team loves when we get the opportunity to use out-of-game content to build on the personalities of the Astroneer suits, while also giving players cool moments where they can see their favorite suits interacting with one another. Thanks for reading! I hope that was a cool look at some of the fun behind the scenes work that goes into Astroneer. We can’t wait to bring Astroneer to PlayStation fans while continuing to develop it for years to come. The game is now available for pre-order, both digitally and physically! See you in the stars.
